Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the mediating role of self-esteem in the relationship between perceived parenting style and subjective well-being. The study group of the research consisted of university students in Turkey, 541 (70.7%) females and 215 (28.1%) males. Results obtained within the scope of the research revealed that maternal acceptance/interest and audit/control had a significant total effect on subjective well-being. Additionally, maternal acceptance/interest had a significant effect on self-esteem and self-esteem had a significant effect on subjective well-being. Findings about the parenting styles perceived by young university students from fathers showed that paternal acceptance/interest and audit/control had a significant total effect on subjective well-being. Within the scope of the research, paternal acceptance/interest was documented to have a significant effect on self-esteem and self-esteem was found to have a significant effect on subjective well-being.
